Welcome to Pankhurst Class

Hi, I’m Mrs Reeves and I am the teacher of Pankhurst Class. I have been working at Sandhurst for many years and have worked in Years 4, 3, 2, 1 and EYFS. I have previously been KS1 leader  and following my move to teaching a Year 3 and 4 class, I am currently the KS2, computing, science and pupil premium Leader. I take pride in being a mentor to trainee teachers at our school.

I like teaching a cross-curricular, creative curriculum tailored to our pupils’ interests. I encourage outdoor learning and love seeing the children engaging in lessons with enthusiasm and passion. Well-being and engagement are key areas for focus at Sandhurst, to ensure we ‘Aim high and be happy’.

One of my favourite learning experiences, with pupils, is cooking in our DT lessons, it is lovely to see the children develop their food preparation skills, and then get to enjoy eating what they have made.

I feel so lucky to work in a rural school with such facilities which mean we get to enhance pupils’ learning so we have happy and healthy pupils.
